IV wrap-around is cryptographically dangerous for a number of ciphers,
therefore kill the key and inform userspace (via netlink) should the
IV space go exhausted.

Userspace has two ways of deciding when the key has to be renewed before
exhausting the IV space:
1) time based approach:
   after X seconds/minutes userspace generates a new key and sends it
   to the kernel. This is based on guestimate and normally default
   timer value works well.

2) packet count based approach:
   after X packets/bytes userspace generates a new key and sends it to
   the kernel. Userspace keeps track of the amount of traffic by
   periodically polling GET_PEER and fetching the VPN/LINK stats.
